Within this broad structure it consists of seven main elements:

• Citizenship;
• History in Education;
• Music;
• Religion in Education;
• Social Science.

It is also home to the research-informed Holocaust Education Development Programme.

The Department offers excellent initial teacher training programmes in all the areas listed above and it provides an impressive range of cutting-edge MA and CPD courses, variously presented in face-to-face, distance learning or mixed mode formats.  In addition, the Department of Arts and Humanities offers a first class PhD programme and members of staff are actively involved in an extensive range of innovative, nationally and internationally acclaimed, research and development projects.
